there are really two related problems here I have a 2D matrix
A <- matrix(1:100,nrow=20,ncol =5) S <- matrix(1:10,nrow=2,ncol =5) #I want to subtract S from A. so that S would be subtracted from the first 2 rows of #A, then the next two rows and so on. #I have a the same problem with a 3D array # where I want to subtract Q for every layer (1-10) in Z # I thought I solved this one with array(mapply("-",Z,Q),dim=dim(Z)) # but got the wrong answers Z <- array(1:100,dim=c(2,5,10)) Q <- matrix(1:10,nrow=2,ncol =5) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
